New description:

 Allow denoting a post as a certain format.  Some example formats are
 aside, gallery, link, quote.  This will allow themes to style these posts
 according to format.

 This can be implemented as a custom taxonomy. post_format, for example.
 Terms within post_format would be the formats.  The slugs and names will
 be stored as English as keys. Dummy gettext calls will get the strings
 into the catalog and later the fetched names can be run through
 translate().

 UI on the edit post form will allow selecting from one of the types.
 Themes will be provided some simple API such as get_post_format(),
 set_post_format, and has_post_format().
